I was driving on the expressway when I had to apply a strong force to the brakes in order to avoid hitting a vehicle. Simultaneously, the surburban brakes became very stiff and I lost power steering at the same time. After applying an extreme excessive amount of force I was able to stop the vehicle and avoid an accident. I had to find the nearest exit and while doing so it was extremely hard to make a 15 degree turn and also extremely hard to come to a complete stop. It was very dangerous and I was scared for my life. I told a mechanic about this and he said it sound like a bad hydro booster. I looked it up online and saw that there was a recall on it. When I looked it up it said 0 open. This is definitely a safety issue. Please help!.

I received a recall notification from chevy (recall number 18289) and my vehicle had occasionally experienced some of the listed problems in the recall so I immediately took my car in to be serviced. After the the recall service my car seemed to be fixed, but that only lasted a few days. The problem is back and even worse than before. When turning the steering wheel at low speeds the my car experiences temporary loss of power, the entire electrical system shorts out briefly (radio, display screen, power locks all turn off/on) and the wheel becomes difficult to turn. Since having the recall problem "fixed", in addition to the above still happening, the wheel just loses power steering (very difficult to turn) or locks up without electrical loss and on two separate occasions all of the above has happened and my care stalls mid turn and I have to put my car in park to restart it. I have taken it to the dealer and they want to charge me to diagnose and fix any problems. I have also placed a call to Chevrolet and am waiting on a response. I am concerned and hesitant to drive my vehicle with this safety issue still occurring.

While making a left turn vehicle lost power steering. The vehicle began to wander and jerked to the left. There was recall 03v527000 for the steering gear bearing, but this vehicle was not included due to VIN. This occurred due to the sensor controlling power assist (evo sensor/exhaust valve opening).
